Hi -- Version 1.0 of IPC::DirQueue is now released, and should be showing up on CPAN rsn. Changes since 0.09: - worker_still_working() is broken; it always claimed that the worker was no longer running. Fix thanks to Brian Duggan <bduggan at mutatu dot org> - use buffered print instead of unbuffered syswrite() when creating data files using enqueue_sub() - fix code to match POD documentation regarding the range of chars permitted in metadata during enqueueing, thanks to Brian Grossman for report - update POD docs: visit_all_jobs() does not return a value. thanks to Simon on AnnoCPAN: http://annocpan.org/%7eJMASON/IPC-DirQueue-0.09/lib/IPC/DirQueue.pm#note_1570 [the 1.0 version bump is just because -- no good reason. ;) this isn't really more stable than any other version!] --j.
